J & I Jewelry
Jessica and Ian Gibson
 Born in England, jewelry designer Ian Gibson has spent many years traveling the world absorbing various cultural influences. Schooled in geology and petrology, his love of rocks and fossils was transformational in his exploration of metals. Being completely self taught in the jewelry arts has led him down paths and to conclusions that have garnered his work acclaim for its freshness and originality. Ian's wife Jessica works with him in their Philadelphia studio.
Ian fabricates the various elements from raw materials by hand. Casting processes are not used. Using sterling silver as the base, the collection is developed with touches of semi precious stone, aspects of pearl, and hints of gold. An oxidizing patina is added to many pieces to embellish the hand etched details.

 Ed and Kate each started working with clay at the age of 15, taking ceramic classes at the Indianapolis Art Center. They realized then that it was something they would always do. After receiving Fine Arts Degrees from Ball State University, they opened their first studio in Southwest Florida in 2000. In 2006, they moved to the mountains of North Carolina.
"We like working within the parameters of a series, keeping each piece unique and one-of-a-kind. This process allows our art to continuously grow and move in dynamic ways. We hope that the excitement we feel when making a piece is evident and is transferred to the owners of our work.
